When I met You
It wasn't happenstance at all
You know what You're doing
Down unto the smallest matters
Time marches us through history
Into forever after
But it's like a single day to You, oh Lord
Oh, it's like a second to You
Most men want science
Mmm … mmm … mmm … mmm … science
La la la lala
They never think our God works today
With my issues
I feel a thousand years of kneeling
It could not achieve
Atonement my God He gave
And while I feel that
You picked me in spite of these crimes I've
done
I still tried but couldn't do works
Oh no, tried but couldn't do worse
You chose me despite this
Despite this
La la la la la la la -- la la la la -- lala
la ah-ah
Despite this
You've known from the beginning
You wanted me to live forever
Yeah-eh-eh
All along
Yeeeeees, known from the beginning
You wanted me to live forever
Known from the beginning
Known and set apart, yeah!
I'm glad You entered into my life, my Lord
I'm glad that it's my destiny, yeah!
Known from the beginning
Known and set apart
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hmmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Known from the beginning, known from the
beginning (9x through end of song)
Romans 8:29
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
